so borisjohnson so boris johnson denies so borisjohnson denies any wrongdoing and his lawyers are adamants that we are still having to hear this drip feed of allegations about what may or may not have gone on during the partygate era. the fact is boris johnson has had ample time to set out what did or did not happen during that time. it is outrageous that we are still having to hear it and i think what we're seeing time and i think what we're seeing time and again is borisjohnson has tried to wriggle out of the whole picture and quite frankly i think this reinforces again that after everything that happened and everything that happened and everything in total we need to consider whether. .. everything in total we need to consider whether... that everything in total we need to consider whether. . ._ consider whether... that is interesting _ consider whether... that is interesting but _ consider whether... that is interesting but his - consider whether... that is i interesting but his supporters say this is a witch hunt and stitch up and it was his lawyers that alerted and it was his lawyer

ti 2 evening, borisjohnson set spokesperson put out a statement saying that borisjohnson has now handed over his whatsapp messages and notebooks and what they describe as full and unredacted form. why this matters is there has been, for the last few days, a wrangling between the cabinet office and the coronavirus inquiry about access to certain key documents the inquiry want to see. yesterday, the inquiry revealed that it had been told that the cabinet office did not have access to some of the material it was being asked to provide. i will been told by the cabinet office they have been engaging with boris johnson about some of this material including today. borisjohnson spokesperson said this evening that more material has been headed over from borisjohnson to the cabinet office and that borisjohnson is now urging the cabinet office to hang that over to the inquiry. in short, i understand that there is some new material that the cabinet office has been given by borisjohnson this afternoon and that they now understand that all the material requested from them has been handed over to the

i hope i haven't thoroughly i bamboozled people on the first topic of borisjohnson.lla braverman one is simpler. i think essentially, the prime minister has taken the view that number one, suella braverman may not have behaved exactly as she might have done but she hasn't basically done anything wrong and even those who don't like the home secretary very much i think probably agree with him. secondly, that therefore makes it much easierfor him to him. secondly, that therefore makes it much easier for him to take the view she certainly hasn't done anything that was worth the political risk of kicking her out of the government and upsetting those on the right of the governing conservative party. so on the second file, the suella braverman file, i would consider that to be a political storm, a bit like the weather, it hung around a bit monday and tuesday but now it is sort of passing off for the rest of the week. ., , passing off for the rest of the week. .,, ~ ., , week. rob watson in the newsroom, thank ou week. rob watson in the newsroom, thank you for— week. rob wat

borisjohnson came under a lot of pressure and it was not in the end actually what led to him standingu refer to their what you said write an introduction of this that borisjohnson is now potentially facing some more police probes and thatis facing some more police probes and that is because in the process of drawing up the response to the inquiry, that some parts of his missed ministerial diary have been found that suggested there might have been further breaches of lockdown rules and they have now been passed to the police, who are decide whether or not to investigate and of course borisjohnson says that those meetings were lawful. handling come of that you so much for helping our global audiences understand that. the uk is doing about it was made to host a multibillion—dollar electric car battery plant in southwest england with bbc understanding the boss of jaguar land rover is looking to fly to london next week to finalise the deal. up to 9000 jobs could be created at the bridgewater site close to the m5 motorway in somerset. simonjack close to the m5 motorway in somerset. simon ja

borisjohnson has said that he has handed over all of his material to the government and says that thethey wanted to. borisjohnson could also choose independently to head over all of his material to the inquiry if he wanted to. his spokesperson has said that if he is asked to, he will. he claims that the cabinet office and has had access to this material for months but sources in the time in office are saying is that effectively, since boris johnson stopped using lawyers that were employed by the government, they have not had access to some of they have not had access to some of the material that the inquiry wanted. today has been a lot of back—and—forth but fundamentally the government position still stands that they do not think it would be appropriate to hand over some of this material. which means tomorrow when inquiry has set the deadline for them to do that there could be quite a big standoff between the inquiry and the government itself. i know you will follow it closely for us. lots of going and there. now — to an update on another major story here in the uk. britains biggest c

using second story concerning borisjohnson is if you like a continuing story, if you like maybe couldlevel war between team johnson and his supporters and those that they consider to be his enemies like team sunak and others in the latest flare—up is how on earth did police get hold of borisjohnson's diaries as promised her and to look at whether there have been any further violations of lockdown restrictions. let's turn to the other store you'll be keeping tabs on, the story that has made many headlines over the last two or three days, but no inquiry regarding the home secretary suella braverman, but in those letters, sheep perhaps regretting her actions and the key to this was whether she should have used civil service in terms of making these inquiries as opposed to making the inquiry through self or getting her own lawyer to do that.— inquiry through self or getting her own lawyer to do that. again, meant to ou, own lawyer to do that. again, meant to you. matthew. — own lawyer to do that. again, meant to you, matthew, you _ own lawyer to do that. again, meant to you, matthew, you

we think thatis minister borisjohnson.t so we can establish exactly what went on around some of that decision making. the cabinet office has said, no, we think a lot of that information in there is unambiguously irrelevant, ie it doesn't need to be seen and we don't think you should get involved. this turned into a bit of a row. it was all meant to come to a head today at 4pm when the cabinet office had a deadline to respond to that demand from the covid inquiry, otherwise the inquiry said it could take legal action. now this deadline has been extended by two days, so it now sits on thursday at 4pm when the cabinet office has to respond. interestingly, what the covid inquiry is now saying additionally is they want the cabinet office to set out whether or not they hold all of this information, these diaries, notebooks that the former prime minister borisjohnson had. and if they don't have it, they want the cabinet office to set out why and publish all the correspondence they have with the former prime minister mrjohnson. as

borisjohnson is a big row brewing.s completely unfair and completely untrue, i followed the rules at all times. but once again this morning we are talking about another big brow about what went on in government buildings during lockdown, and whether the rules that ministers were setting were being followed. —— big row. thank you. the number of people paying privately for operations and treatments in the uk has risen by more than a third since the pandemic started. figures from the private health care information network, show that 272,000 people used their own money to pay for treatments last year, such as knee or eye surgery, some costing as much as £15,000. the nhs backlog has been blamed for the trend. if you think you have trouble with traffic on the morning commute, check out this scene on a michigan highway that looks like it's straight out of a film. yes, that's a cowboy who was called into action by the state police, to lasso a runaway cow after wranglers struggled to capture it. you'll be pleased to know, the

it was set up in response to borisjohnson being deposed. were when liz truss was elected but partly because they worry about the direction of the party under its current leader, the prime minister rishi sunak. we've heard from the businessmen who helped found this organisation and jacob rees—mogg talking about the disappointment on brexit, the direction of the party and the disconnect, as he sees it, between the membership, the grassroots of the conservative party and the leadership in central office. but what is really interesting is the elephant in the room is borisjohnson. there is mention that should he come back which is what some people in the party want, jacob rees—mogg mogg has said, look, let's not change leader now then we risk looking absurd. so perhaps this is all about what happens after the next election because there is no sign that rishi sunak is going to change because any time soon. ~ ., ., , , time soon. what of this tell us about the _ time soon. what of this tell us about the state _ time soon. what of this tell us abou

a deadline this afternoon for the government to hand over borisjohnson's unredacted whatsapp messages office now has until thursday to pass the material on — or face criminal prosecution. it argues some of the material is not relevant to the inquiry. our political correspondent, alex forsyth, is in westminster. this is all rather puzzling in that the cabinet office , that's to say the government, doesn't want to hand over these diaries and messages — but also says it doesn't have them anyway. puzzling is one word for it. let's go through it. covid inquiry wants to see the unredacted whatsapp messages, diaries and notebooks of borisjohnson on the government is resisting it because it says not all the material is relevant to what happened in the pandemic but now it emerges that the government has told the inquiry doesn't even have some of that material. boris johnson's spokesman said government lawyers have had access to it may have seen some of the notebooks and the boris johnson team says he has no objection to it being received but the inquiry say they have not received it and it's u
